Started because some dingus pushed a burning car into a ravine
On Friday night I spent another few hours flying around and exploring northern California, but as soon as I took off it was clear that one thing was dominati...YouTube
I recently ran into an old pro-planet t-shirt from
the early '80s β over 40 years ago we knew,
we even yelled and screamed and signed petitions
and tried to get that difference made
What is wrong with people?
One of the downstream effects of the AI boom that I hadn't really thought about is that sites are starting to introduce anti-crawling tech as standard, because they don't want all their bandwidth going to training chatgpt7.
This is going to make life harder for people who run benevolent scrapers. How many sites are going to be blocking the wayback machine now, just because it looks too much like an AI scraperbot?
I'm blocking those AI bots but intentionally exempt the wayback machine.
To me, the issue is not the crawlers themselves, nor bandwidth nor content. The issue I have with GPTBot and Facebook's bots is they come as a flock, to the extent that my server can't handle. They are rude and never care to learn how search bots behave.
"Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them."
We bring up the Atwood quote all the time to explain why women are careful when rejecting men, but we seem to have forgotten the first part
*This* is why the right aren't bothered when we use adjectives that suggest we fear them, but are melting down over being called 'weird'
The thought of being laughed it is a fascist's kryptonite

Random fursuit photos from the archives.
Sauna & rooftop furs, NordicFuzzcon 2017.
I cannot believe Iβm still having to say this five years into this pandemic, but COVID doesnβt make an exception when you take a mask off inside to eat or drink.
Like what exactly do people think this is?
There isnβt like a hydration / nourishment transmission exception field.
Hello Britishers; remember to wear sunscreen!
I saw lots of people going bright pink yesterday. Even if our weather is nice and mild, itβs still the sun, and burning is no fun.
Chap at FWA24!

Just realised that on Mastodon, boosting *is* the algorithm.
There's no code trying to cleverly show me stuff it reckons I'd be into, based on what my contacts are into, instead my contacts are saying "I like this, I bet my contacts would like it too" and that is way smarter than any algorithm.
Thank you, boosters!
It's jarring to think that we've only had homosexuality be fully legal in most of the UK since about 2003, and the first gay marriage in 2014.
To underscore that, it's only been about 10 years since you could say gay people have had comparable rights to straight couples.
And we're still fighting for the right to be who we are, and for our trans friends to do the same.
An aside: the DSM (diagnostics and statistical manual - for diagnosing mental illnesses) listed homosexuality as a mental disorder into the early 70s.
Pre-1968 - βSexual deviationβ blanket term
1969 - Stonewall
1974 - code for homosexuality replaced with βego-dystonic sexual orientationβ (people upset by their orientation)
1980 - βEgo-dystonic homosexualityβ
2013 - Complete declassification of anything homosexual-related as a mental disorder
My pc-keyboard-oriented brain finally figured out that "eepy" as "sleepy" makes sense it you realize that for the mobile generation(s), "L" is right next to backspace.
It sounds like baby talk, but it's a typo:
"Sβ«eepy"
Normalise telling your friends that you appreciate them!
Experience the power of freely expressing loving appreciation with those you care about, and gift them with the powerful feeling of knowing that they're loved

someone on cohost said "i literally still think vrchat should implement a feature where someone's nameplate actively tells you when they can't see your avatar for performance reasons" and man I agree with this so hard.
like the implicit social pressure created by realizing just how many people have your avatar disabled and consequently aren't seeing you for YOU would actually cause people to care about optimization
That was a weekend. I got to meet many wonderful beans who I've only known online, and I got to wear my fursuit in public for the first time! I think you can tell I was nervous even through the suit. 
I had this silly idea that we could do multiple rounds through the zoo that evening, but we ended up only going a tiny fraction of the way because everyone wanted photos and hugs and high-fives.
I also learned that fursuiting at home for two hours is not the same as fursuiting outside at 27 Β°C (duh) and had to go back to our "fursuit lounge" much earlier than I wanted, because I didn't want to risk an accident with all the kids around. Still, seeing how much fun all the guests and my friends had, it was so worth it, and I'm definitely going to try this again.
Thank you to everyone who was there, especially @karb, @Polarie_Fox, @Deepseacreatur3, and @livi_wusky! We basically had a little Fediverse meetup. :3
It was also amazing to watch my fellow fursuiters Charlie Blufur, Mick, and Taro - it made me realize how much skill goes into fursuiting and bringing your character to life, especially at a public event like that.
I can't wait to try this again!

Much of frontend security design is hostile in a way that reduces security.
Most people doing security design are bad at what they do.
